That was a horrible stoppage.
But Rothwell was getting handled. So much for being an IFL champion.
R:3 A:3 S:3 T:3
I disagree with the Rothwell stoppage and I think there's absolutely nothing to be said for the referee stopping a fight because they think a fighter is not mounting enough offense.
Are they going to have the power to determine if a fighter is picking their shots or waiting for the right opportunity?
Its a slippery slope.
